First sentence: We can, already, recognise competent, successful and excellent teaching.
Description: "Measuring teaching ability has become a central theme of recent government policy on raising standards in schools, but what does good teaching really mean, and how should we judge competence, success and excellence?" "The book aims to answer these questions by explaining how we identify quality in teaching, and how different teaching methods may be used to achieve the aim of good practice. The authors explore different approaches to successful teaching, and argue that there is no single way of teaching well." "The authors focus particularly on the partnership method of teaching, which not only gives teachers the chance to hit targets, satisfying governors, inspectors and parents, but also allows pupils to develop their own individual interests. In this way, teachers are able to move beyond a set of competencies towards long-term success and excellence." "This thought-provoking book will appeal to teachers in all sectors of education, from primary school to higher education level."--Jacket.
